Greetings all; I am trying to use fetchmail, which for sucking mail is working great, dumping it right into the kmail suck dir in /var/spool/mail/$USER.
However, adjust and restart till I'm blue in the face, I cannot make it use an alternate mda, such as procmail. It seemingly ignores the default mda /usr/bin/procmail -d gene line at the top of ~/.fetchmailrc, and if an attempt is made to pass it in via the set syntax instead, thats an outright error and fetchmail dies, silently. Similarly that same syntax but with either a -m or a --mda on the command line also results in an error abort, reporting the --mda as a syntax error even if it is used as a -m like this: su gene -c "fetchmail -d 90 --fetchmailrc /home/gene/.fetchmailrc -m /usr/bin/procmail". I think I'm doing it right, and according to the manpages. Do I need a newer fetchmail than can be readily installed on an FC2 system? The currently installed fetchmail is: fetchmail-6.2.5.5-1.fc3 System is however, an FC2 (mostly) system. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
